A supreme combination of high performance and luxury: the all-new BMW M6 Gran Coupe now available in Indonesia

Jakarta – BMW Group Indonesia today launched the latest model of BMW M, and proof that M is still the most powerful letter in the world. The second body variant of the BMW M6 high-performance sports car is set to be presented for the first time in Jakarta as the all-new BMW M6 Gran Coupe joins the existing BMW M6 Coupe in the line-up. The new member of the M6 family brings together customary M high-performance characteristics with extra elements of luxury and aesthetic appeal.

“Indonesia has given a warm welcome to 7 models of BMW M Series, which we have launched in the last four years. This has played an important role in the success of M” said Ramesh Divyanathan, President Director BMW Group Indonesia. “Today, we are proud to present the latest M automobile for our customers in Indonesia - The BMW M6 Gran Coupe. It’s the perfect combination of thrilling sports-car performance, attention to detail and advanced technology in a four-door luxury coupe” added Ramesh.

The high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and 560 hp propels the BMW M6 Gran Coupe from 0 – 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. And the elegantly sporty lines of the four-door Coupe are complemented by bespoke features, such as the carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof. The greater interior space of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe allows two rear passengers to enjoy generous levels of on-board comfort, and there is also a third rear seat for use on shorter journeys.

Design: the beauty of majestic power delivery.
Hallmark M design features influenced directly by technical considerations – such as cooling air requirements, chassis geometry, weight balance and aerodynamics – open a clear window into the performance capability of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe. The front of the car is dominated by its large air intakes, standard Adaptive LED Headlights and an M kidney grille designed especially for this model. From the side, the first four-door Coupe in the BMW M model range is clearly distinguishable from the BMW M6 Coupe thanks to its rear doors and 113-millimetre longer wheelbase. The low roofline flowing smoothly into the rear, the swage line – which takes in the door openers – and side windows extending well into the C-pillars accentuate the dynamically stretched silhouette.

Prominently flared wheel arches draw the eye to a track width specific to the BMW M6 Gran Coupe. The characteristic M gills, aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors, standard BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line package and exclusive 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in double-spoke design underline the car’s distinctive appearance, as does another M signature – twin exhaust tailpipes positioned on the outer edges of the rear apron. Also integrated into the rear apron, and charged with the task of optimising airflow along the car’s underbody, is a diffuser made from CFRP.

This extremely lightweight, impressively strong high-tech material is used in the construction of the roof as well. Here, the visible carbon structure provides an eye-catching feature, as does a dynamic recess in the centre of the roof. This recess is referenced stylistically inside the car, the anthracite-coloured Alcantara roof liner gaining a central section in leather.
Emulating the harmonious blend of athletic prowess and elegance embodied by the exterior design, the distinctively M cockpit fuses sports car style with generous levels of space and a luxurious ambience. The driver and front passenger can look forward to M sports seats with integral belt guides. And the BMW M6 Gran Coupe’s standard specification also includes Merino leather upholstery with extended features. The rear compartment offers two or three seats, the backrests of which can split and fold down in a ratio of 40 : 60 to increase boot capacity from 460 to as much as 1,265 litres.

V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic, Active M Differential.
The powertrain technology under the skin of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe guarantees the performance characteristics for which M Automobiles are renowned. The V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology produces 560 hp. Its technical wizardry includes a pair of twin-scroll turbochargers, a cross-bank exhaust manifold, High Precision Direct Petrol Injection, VALVETRONIC variable valve timing and Double-Vanos continuously variable camshaft control. The 4,395 cc unit keeps peak torque of 680 Newton metres on tap between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm, while maximum output is developed between 6,000 and 7,000 rpm. The engine revs to a maximum of 7,200 rpm. The BMW M6 Gran Coupe sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds on the way to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h. Average fuel consumption stands at 10.1 km/l and CO2 emissions are 232 grams per kilometre.

Taking care of power transfer is a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic. The transmission’s electronic management system ensures the right gear is selected for optimum traction. It also offers the driver a Launch Control function for maximum acceleration, Low Speed Assistance for extra comfort and the Auto Start-Stop function to enhance efficiency.

Under particularly dynamic acceleration out of corners, as well as in tricky road and weather conditions, the Active M Differential at the rear axle distributes the engine’s power between the individual wheels to maximum traction-enhancing effect. Its electronically controlled multi-disc limited-slip differential works hand-in-hand with the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system and splits drive between the right and left rear wheels quickly and precisely according to the situation at hand.

Chassis technology developed to M specification.
The chassis technology of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe is also geared to harnessing the car’s sporting potential in the cause of supreme performance. Like the integral rear axle, the double-wishbone front axle has specific kinematics and components made from forged aluminium. Chassis mountings using large panels ensure dynamic forces are passed evenly through to the body. The BMW M6 Gran Coupe comes as standard with an M-specific version of the Dynamic Damper Control system and high-performance compound braking system combined with hydraulic variable-ratio rack-and-pinion steering with the M Servotronic function.

Arranged around the gearshift lever on the centre console of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe are the buttons used to configure all the adjustable powertrain and chassis functions to personal tastes. The DSC mode,engine performance characteristics, Dynamic Damper Control mapping, M Servotronic responses and M DCT Drivelogic shift program can be selected independently of each other. All of which means the driver can put together a detailed set-up and store those settings on one of the two M Drive buttons on the multifunction steering wheel.

Exclusive and individual: high-quality range of equipment.
The standard equipment fitted on the BMW M6 Gran Coupe includes 20-inch M light-alloy wheels, extended Merino‘ leather trim including Alcantara/leather roofliner, M multifunction driver and front passenger seats, Soft Close Automatic function for the doors, an alarm system and the new generation BMW Professional navigation system and a Bang & Olufsen High End Surround Sound System. The BMW M6 Gran Coupe comes standard with a 4-zone automatic climate control with a control panel in the rear compartment.

The BMW M6 Gran Coupe also comes with a variety of BMW ConnectedDrive features, such as an M-specific BMW Head-Up Display, Park Distance Control with rear-view camera, High Beam Assistant and Surround View. Customers can also integrate their Apple iPhone or other smartphones into the car, enabling Bluetooth office and Bluetooth audio streaming functions.

Price
The all-new BMW M6 Gran Coupe is introduced at Rp. 2,598,000,000 off-the-road, and comes with BMW Service Inclusive, which includes maintenance for 5 years or 60,000 km whichever comes first.

AMG story

The Beginning

Over 45 years ago, an overwhelming passion for motorsports translated into the creation of an unique company.

A as in Aufrecht, M as in Melcher and G as in Großaspach – the names behind these three letters are the starting point of the rapid development from a two-man operation to a global brand. The story starts in the 1960s: The two engineers Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher were working on the 300 SE racing engine in the Daimler-Benz Development department – until the company discontinued all motorsports activities.

Yet the hearts of Aufrecht and Melcher beat unabated for motorsports. In Aufrecht’s house in Grossaspach, they spent their spare time further honing the performance of the engine. In 1965, Manfred Schiek, a colleague at Daimler, went to the start in the German Touring Car Championship with the 300 SE engine that had been developed by Aufrecht and Melcher – and won ten times! Schiek’s triumph was based on the reputation of Aufrecht and Melcher as experts for sustaining and optimizing the performance of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

However, a reputation was not enough for Aufrecht: his vision was to offer road vehicles modeled after the successful racing car. In late 1966, he left Mercedes-Benz and persuaded Melcher to venture into a shared business with him. In 1967, they founded the “Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach Ingenieurbüro, Konstruktion und Versuch zur Entwicklung von Rennmotoren” (“Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach engineering firm, design and testing for the development of racing engines"). The headquarters were a former mill in the next town over, Burgstall. Very quickly, the engines that were revamped there became a must for private racing teams.

The first milestone in terms of racing was in 1971 during the 24 Hours of Spa, which went down in the annals of the company: the AMG Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8 was the champion in its class and won second place overall. A heavy luxury sedan pulling a fast one on the competing lighter race cars – this caused a sensation, and the name AMG spread throughout the world.

2000 kk

21 years after Jody Scheckter the Drivers’ World Title was back in Maranello, thanks to the competitiveness of the F1-2000. The single-seater had extremely well planned aerodynamics, its weight was much below the minimum set by the regulations, which helped to work on a perfect weight distribution by shifting the ballast, and the angle of the 10-cylinder engine changed from 80° to 90°. This architecture of the new engine set the standard for the years to come. Michael Schumacher, supported by a perfect team, gained 9 wins and won the season’s long battle against Hakkinen with McLaren: the German driver gained the Title at the penultimate race of the season, right on the track in Suzuka, where the previous two years the Scuderia had lost the Championship by a whisker. With 10 victories – one thanks to the new-entry Rubens Barrichello – and a total of 170 points, the Scuderia repeated the success from 1999. For the Scuderia this was the start of one of the most successful cycles in the history of Formula One.


kk 2001

Michelin joined Bridgestone in Formula One as an official tyre supplier and the Federation gave green lights regarding the heavy use of on-board electronics at the Spanish GP, while the Scuderia confirmed itself as the team to be beaten. In Hungary, at the 13th race out of 17 on the race calendar, Michael Schumacher conquered the Drivers’ Title (the fourth of his career) and the Scuderia from the Prancing Horse, also thanks to the second place by Barrichello, confirmed itself Constructors’ World Champion. At the end of the season the Scuderia had 9 victories, 15 places on the podium, 3 one-two wins and 10 pole positions for a total of 179 points in the Constructors’ standings. The main player of this incredible season was the F2011: nicknamed the “anteater”, due to the shape of its nose, dropping to join the front wing, this single-seater was planned with the objective to lower the centre of gravity and reduce its weight. It sported a high chassis, with a concave lower section and relatively short and high sides.

kk 2002

True and proper domination of Ferrari in the 2002 Formula One season: 15 victories in 17 races. 11 by Michael Schumacher – who already in July confirmed his Drivers’ World Title – and 4 by Rubens Barrichello. 10 pole positions, 9 one-two wins and at least one Scuderia driver on the podium in each of the 17 races on the calendar. Ferrari, the only top team still using Bridgestone tyres, confirmed itself as the Constructors’ Champion with 221 points, as many as the other 10 teams on the track this season together. A record year thanks to the extraordinary F2002: despite the dominance of the previous car – which was started in the season’s first three races – the 2002 single-seater was an entirely new project with smaller aerodynamic sides, a titanium-fusion gearbox, a different design and construction of the chassis, guarding exhausts, a new engine with a lower centre of gravity with 835 bhp at 17,800 rpm.

kk 2003

In 2003 several modifications regarding the regulations came along: after the qualifyings the single-seaters had to sit in the parc fermé after the session used to set the starting grid. Furthermore a point system was introduced, awarding the first 8 in the classification. After the undoubted dominance of the Scuderia over the previous two years, the 2003 Championship saw a re-launched competition, also thanks to the rivalry between Bridgestone and Michelin: this led to 8 different winners in the 16 races on the calendar. In the end it was Michael Schumacher again, winning the World Title in the last race, held in Suzuka. The German driver set a new record and equalled the one with five World Titles of Juan Manuel Fangio, thus turning into the most successful driver in the history of Formula One . Thanks to the F2003 GA, where the initials were an homage to Gianni Agnelli, who had died in January 2003, the Scuderia gained the fifth Constructors’ Title in a row.

The year 2002, the record season for Ferrari, went into a second act with the 2004 Championship: out of 18 GPs the Scuderia won 15 (13 Schumacher, 2 Barrichello), 8 one-two wins, 12 pole positions for a total of 262 points in the Constructors’ Championship. Already in August Ferrari archived the Championship files: at the Hungarian GP the Scuderia won the Constructors’ Title – the 14th in its history – with a one-two win, while Schumacher gained his fifth title in a row, the seventh of his career, in Belgium on the same track, where he debuted in the year 1991. The season made history also thanks to one of the most competitive single-seaters ever: the F2004, fitted with the new engine 053, a 10-cylinder with 865 bhp at 18,300 rpm, which exceeded all expectations in terms of performance and reliability also regarding the new challenge set by the regulations, which aimed at reducing the costs: one engine per race weekend, with an average lifespan of 800 instead of 350km.

kk 2005

There was a heavy weight sitting on the F2005, planned by Aldo Costa, student and successor of Byrne, who staid with the Scuderia’s technical staff: the significant heritage of the victorious single-seater of the previous season. The new car was planned with the same philosophy as with the F2004 in mind, although conditioned by the new regulations with restrictions regarding the level of aerodynamics for a 25% lower downforce, tyres, which had to last for one entire GP and for the qualifying on Saturday (therefore the pit stops were only used to refill the tanks), the engine life was extended from one to two race weekends. In the end the season remained below the expectations with the F2005 – debuting with Schumacher at the Bahrain GP replacing the F2004 M. The single-seater couldn’t express its potential at the same level of competitiveness as the rivals on the track. The season ended with just one win, gained in Indianapolis at a GP with just six cars on the track, caused by a boycott of the teams running on Michelin tyres. Third place in the Constructors’ Championship, won by Renault, while Fernando Alonso, with Renault, gained the Drivers’ Title.

2006

It was the year of the introduction of V8 engines with a capacity of 2.4 litres and the comeback of the possibility to change the tyres during the race. Ferrari made up for a weak 2005 season and again turned into one of the main protagonists, fighting against Renault for the World Title. It was a season with lots of polemics: Schumacher’s stop at the Rascasse corner in Monte Carlo during the qualifying, so his competitors couldn’t improve their lap times, or the discussion about the mass damper used by Renault and later on banned by the Federation. The seven victories by Schumacher and the three by new-entry Felipe Massa weren’t enough to stop Alonso and the Enstone team to gain their encore in the Championship. At the end of the season, with his retirement announced after the win in Monza, the Schumacher era in Maranello came to an end: in 180 GPs with Ferrari the German driver had won 72 races, gained 58 pole positions, drove 53 fastest race laps and won 5 Drivers’ and 6 Constructors’ Titles.

2007

The year 2007 will enter the annals of Formula One as one of the most embattled and intense seasons in the history of the series: two teams, Ferrari and McLaren, and their drivers, Massa and new-entry Raikkonen, Alonso and the rookie Hamilton, fought for the World Title until the last race. A duel, which sailed close to the wind, with Ferrari as the victim of industrial espionage and a guilty McLaren (disqualified from the Constructors’ Championship). The Scuderia – where the role of the Technical Director passed to Mario Almondo after Ross Brawn had decided to take a sabbatical – put the F2007 onto the track, which had with its long wheelbase and the perfect weight distribution two main advantages. In the season where Bridgestone again became the sole tyre supplier and the V8s where technically “frozen”, the Scuderia conquered nine wins (6 with Raikkonen, 3 with Massa), 9 pole positions as well as 12 fastest race laps, winning the Constructor’s Championship with 204 points and the Drivers’ Title with Kimi Raikkonen at the last race of the season in Brazil, gaining the upper-hand on the McLaren duo.

2008

In a Championship, where the main novelties where the introduction of a simplified switchboard, which was the same for all the teams, the elimination of the traction control, higher lateral protections, a gearbox lifespan of four races in a row, the Scuderia – with Stefano Domenicali as the new Team Principal and Aldo Costa as the Technical Director – defended the World Title, putting the F2008 on the track. At the end of an equally intense season like the previous one, Ferrari won the 16th Constructors’ Title with 8 victories (6 Massa, 2 Raikkonen), 8 pole positions and 13 fastest race laps. Regarding the Drivers’ Title at the last race, held in Brazil, it was a sad day for the Prancing Horse: Felipe Massa, who won the race, was indeed World Champion for less than 40 seconds, until Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes) crossed the line. At the last corner the English driver had gained fifth position in the race and the four necessary points to win the Title with one point ahead of the Brazilian Ferrarista.

2009

To facilitate overtaking, guaranteeing more spectacular races, the Federation had planned new technical regulations for the 2009 season: a proper revolution in F1, with completely differently looking single-seaters. The front wing was much wider than in the past, the rear wing much narrower and higher, the diffusor further back, the bodies were without air-outlets and the aerodynamic devices reduced. The drivers had the possibility to move the flaps’ angles from the cockpit and then there was the introduction of the KERS – the kinetic energy recovery system – and the slicks were back, too. Each driver could use up to eight engines throughout the season, tests during the year were no longer allowed. These were the main modifications regarding the regulations for a season where the balance of power on the track was newly arranged: with the F60 – whose name celebrated the 60th participation of the Scuderia in the F1 Championship – the Scuderia couldn’t offer opposition to teams like Red Bull and Brawn GP, while the latter was built on the remains of Honda with Ross Brawn in the driver’s seat. It was another season with polemics, when several teams benefitted from grey areas in the regulations, using technical solutions at the limit. FOTA had threatened to organise an alternative series as an answer to a FIA proposal of capping the budget. This year Ferrari gained just one success, with Kimi Raikkonen in Spa-Francorchamps, while a terrible accident during the qualifying at the Hungarian GP put an end to Felipe Massa’s season, replaced by Luca Badoer and then Giancarlo Fisichella. The 2009 Championship, won by Jenson Button and Brawn GP, ended for the Scuderia with a disappointing fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship.
